Kirkatronics Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 My old laptop had an un-fortunate accident and now im getting another one to replace it. The insurance has sent me £602.69 of vouchers to spend. It has to be from Currys, and it has to be available in store. I want to know which is the best they have for around £600? Im willing to put say £30 to the cost too. The only thing i am really wanting is a non shared graphics card, ive forgot the correct term. _________________________ This seems like a good one, what do you guys think?

Slaggis Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 This one is the same price, and has a dedicated graphics card. It's not the best, but it's much better than the card in the one you found. Link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McPhee Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 Try this; http://www.currys.co.uk/martprd/store/cur_page.jsp?BV_SessionID=@@@@1671067936.1226775765@@@@&BV_EngineID=cceeadefjjgejffcflgceggdhhmdgml.0&page=Product&fm=1&sm=0&tm=2&sku=109052&category_oid= * Intel Core 2 Duo Processor T5750 * (2 GHz, 667 MHz, 2 MB Cache) * Genuine Windows Vista ® Home Premium * 3 GB Memory * 250 GB Hard Drive * Blu-ray Combo drive * 16" CrystalBrite widescreen Display * ATi Mobility Radeon HD3650 Graphics Card * dedicated 512 mb Graphics Memory * Wireless enabled Pretty well balanced machine, processor is reasonable and the graphics card will play any game currently on the market. Or for a better manufacturer, this; http://www.currys.co.uk/martprd/store/cur_page.jsp?BV_SessionID=@@@@1671067936.1226775765@@@@&BV_EngineID=cceeadefjjgejffcflgceggdhhmdgml.0&page=Product&fm=1&sm=0&tm=2&sku=052738&category_oid= * AMD Turion X2 Dual Core processor RM72 * ATI Mobility Radeon HD3450 graphics card * 3 GB memory * 250 GB hard drive * Genuine Windows Vista Home Premium * Blu-ray Combo Drive * 15.4" High Definition display * HDMI high definition connectivity * 4 No. of USB Connections * 2.65 kg Weight Weaker processor and graphics card. HP might be a tad more reliable than Acer though (that's just my personal experience). Both machines have a Blu-Ray drive, which is a nice bonus!

Sanchez Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 Tbh when it's a desktop you might as well just get acer because the only thing they can fuck up is the motherboard and the psu and even then it's pretty hard to fuck up. EDIT: Ok it's not a desktop nor do I have any idea why I thought it was but jut get the acer anyway it's probably worth the reliability hit.

Nolan Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 Acer is actually a better build than HP...... Anyways, that Acer posted further up is your best bet, Blu-ray, an average processor and a Mid Grade graphics card. Plenty of RAM, good storage capacity, and wireless. It'll basically do everything you want it to do, just don't expect it max out games or hold up with a million billion physics calculations or 3D images going on at once. You main problem will be finding it in store... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
